<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Plus, you only have to replace the original main
bearing once....put in the SS double-seal and forget about it. I have
hundreds of flights on two of them and there are no issues.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Jon - thanks for recommending my
site; I've tried to put easily-reproducible results out there, and I just
cannot fault the dependability of the 1.60 setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In terms of $ per flight VALUE,
I cannot think of a less-expensive setup to buy, operate, and maintain over the
long haul.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi John,<BR>You will be very happy with either engine. Why not
go on price? The reply that Jon Lowe wrote is right on the numbers.<BR>You
struck me as someone who will be comfortable doing the bearing replacement, so
the 160 is an excellent option.<BR>Good meeting you at the Black Dirt

O.S. pattern motors<BR><BR><BR>Guys,<BR> I'm looking for some insight
into which motor I should use in a new ship<BR>(Focus). I like the O.S. 1.40RX
because it's got a rear exhaust, but the<BR>1.60FX looks nice too. If anyone
has any experience with either of these<BR>motors (props, fuel, pumps, things
that wear out, etc.) I'd appreciate their<BR>input. Either one is a bit of an
investment so I want to make sure I'm<BR>making the right choice. Also if
anyone has used any of the new Hyde mounts<BR>(with the nose ring attached to
the mount) I'd be interested in hearing<BR>about that too.<BR><BR>John
